about

Langtidsperspektiv (Long-time perspective) is a concept album that has been inspired by local events and small stories in Langvassgrenda, a hamlet located in northern Rana
(Nordland). The album is written by Marius Leirånes, who has roots from the farm of the same name (Leirånes). To this day the Leirånes farm is still operating in Langvassgrenda. The farm was established in the middle of the 18th century. The family who settled there used the name Leirånes which is also the place name where the farm is located. Marius has researched the history of the farm and surrounding area.

“Music and geography are closely related. Places have their sounds, and sounds have their spaces. A lot has been said about the "Nordic sound", whether it be jazz, progressive rock, electronica or extreme metal. We tend to think of isolation, melancholy, a certain kind of light, coldness, vast stretches of ice and rock.”

“Few have pinpointed their Nordic sound more precisely than Marius Leirånes, known from the Norwegian prog band Pixie Ninja. For his first solo project, he has chosen to tell - through music - the stories of his ancestral homestead, a small farm by the name of Leirånes.”

“The music on this record describes events and landscapes from the farm and its immediate environment, the wild, near-Arctic landscape of Rana in Mo I Rana. This area is pretty much smack on the Polar Circle, plunged into eternal darkness for half the year, while the midnight sun illuminates the summer months 24/7.”

“In his history, as well as in this landscape, there is drama, darkness, beauty and light in equal measures. Combining elements of electronica, progressive rock, ambient and post-rock, Langtidsperspektiv takes you on a journey that ranges from the serene to the stormy, and from the tragic to the triumphant.”
